Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Co-Curricular Record a part of my transcript? Is it issued out of the Registrar's Office?

The CCR is not part of the CapU transcript and is not issued out of the Registrar's Office. The CCR is validated by the employees of CapU who supervised the student in the positions listed on the CCR transcript. Students can print and access their CCR transcript from their account within this website.

Do I have access to my profile on the CCR website after I graduate?

Yes, as an alumnus of CapU you will have access to your record. Please login via the alumni tab.

I participated in an activity and the activity is not listed in the CCR Directory, what do I do?

If you think the activity you participated in qualifies as an eligible CCR activity, you can contact cocurricularrecord@capilanou.ca to further discuss the matter. To find out more about what qualifies as an activity.

Can activities be added retroactively to the CCR?

All activities and positions started after 14 May 2018 can be validated. The launch of the software at the end of the summer term 2018 allows us to retroactively recognize activities which occurred during the 2018 summer term only. Going forward from 14 May 2018 students must submit their position to be validated within a calendar year of completing the activity or the record will not be validated.
